Dane Cook is hilarous. Saw him on tour and had to get the CD. A must have!Free Music Review: One of the hardest working comics in the industry
Hit: 4 Stars
A lot of people are hating on Dane Cook. That's fair. Afterall, there IS some reason to criticize. He got wildly popular after his first CD "Harmful if Swallowed" came out and suddenly became like the Dave Matthews Band of Stand-Up on college campuses everywhere ...
Then he showed up in a few bad movies between other stand-up releases that weren't quite as groundbreaking and people started to see the formula in his material.
So ... is it TRUE that a lot of his jokes wouldn't be nearly as funny if they weren't delivered with all of the energy and animation he puts into them? Of course. But does that mean that he's NOT funny? Hell no!!
I'll be the first to say that I don't think Dane Cook is THE best comedian working right now. There are a lot of talented guys out there doing edgier, better-written, and more creative stuff.
But what separates Dane from the rest is that no crowd, no matter how big or small, can contain the energy he brings to the place. He throws a party every time he takes the stage and people leave thinking they've had an unbelievable time. And that energy is just as tangible on this CD as it is on any other release by him and that alone makes it worth of your time to give it a listen. I mean, let's face it, there is simply no other single comedian who could work an audience of 20,000 people and keep them entertained with a full set of ALL NEW MATERIAL.
That's right. There are like three throw-back jokes in this entire act. And that's also ANOTHER reason Dane Cook should never be written off as a hack. He's constantly updating his material. Sure, he'll hang on to one or two jokes for a few years, but since 2003, he's come out with "Harmful if Swallowed," "Dave Attel's Insomniac Tour," "Retaliation," "Vicious Circle," and finally "Rough Around The Edges" ... Every one of them features at least sixty minutes of new material, and every one of them features an audience in gasping for breath between laughing at punchlines.
Bottom line? Stop hating. He's a hard worker and he has an undeniable presence. Don't let Dane Cook be your ONLY stand-up experience, but I don't see any reason that he shouldn't be a part of it. Enjoy the show!
Free Music Review: Pretty good.

Yes, I know it's fun to bash Dane Cook now he's really famous. However, I got this CD for my husband for Christmas and we both enjoyed it. Admittedly, the crowd is annoying. The women in the audience shriek at everything and people seem to be laughing even when the jokes aren't all that funny. However, I can still hear Dane Cook over the audience and the picture quality on the DVD is fine. Unlike Vicious Circle, which had a repeat of the bit on "Cheating" this one had material that was all new for me. (I hadn't seen Comic Relief 2006.) The bits about "Tito" and the "Needy kids" are really funny and as good as anything he's ever done. The extras on the DVD are pretty pointless, but I'm not that into extras. I still think Harmful If Swallowed is his best CD but this one is pretty good too. I think it's better than Vicious Circle and a LOT better than Tourgasm.Free Music Review: It's very rough, but funny

Dane Cook is probably one of the funniest guys out there in stand up. He has a way of telling a story that is so interesting and captivating - you are laughing before he even gets to the punchline. He is truly a gifted performer who is so at ease on the stage and so enjoyable to watch and listen to. If you love comedy, this is for you. But beware - if you are easily offended by bad language and explicit material, you won't enjoy this.Free Music Review: Cook does it again...
Hit: 4 Stars
As a huge Dane Cook fan the only bad thing I could say is that a few of the tracks are somewhat repeats of older stuff... but for the most part he does it again with this one... Dane Cook is hilarious... "it's 5 f@&kin cents" ha... it's more the crowd who ruin his jokes/stories by laughing before he's even done talking...
